  Herbert George "H. G." Wells (September 21, 1866 – August 13, 1946) was a prolific English writer in many genres. He is sometimes called the “Father of Science Fiction.”  His stories have been filmed many times. His best-known classics are The Time Machine (1895), one of the first modern science fiction stories, The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898).  Wells wrote over a hundred books, about fifty of them novels. Pollock and the Porroh Man is a ghostly and gory tale much in the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, but seasoned with macabre black humor.  Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominated and Emmy Award winning Special Effects Makeup Artist. Email: edwardfrench06@hotmail.com.

  This book, set in a dystopian Philadelphia in 2118, invented a new, creepier kind of dystopian Sci Fi.Perhaps the first science fantasy to use the alternate time-track, or parallel worlds, idea. -Groff ConklinA pioneering variation on the parallel worlds theme. -Boucher and McComasA highly imaginative work, one of the classics of early pulp fantastic fiction -Everett F. Bleiler“Stevens, to her credit, manages to keep her story taut and suspenseful, at the same time that she injects pleasing snippets of humor here and there, mainly thanks to the character of Arnold Bertram, a portly thief who had tried to rifle Trenmore’s safe back home and had also been thrown into the year 2118 as a result.The author presciently posits the coming of a second World War, and yet her Philadelphia of two centuries hence still somehow contains “clanging street cars,” shooting galleries, and “movie” theaters. (I love that fact that Stevens puts the word “movie” in quotes; first used around 1911, it must have still seemed a newish, slangy word by 1918!) A pseudo-scientific explanation, at the novel’s end, for all the mishegas that had come before goes far in claiming for the book its place of pride in the early sci-fi field... a most entertaining and atmospheric read.”-Sandy Ferber, fantasyliterature.com

  An impending divorce. An ornery homicide detective. The cruise of a lifetime. And ghosts.Midlife on the high seas is proving to be a real killer. 
  My name is Trixie Troublefield, and I see ghosts. It’s sort of a new thing, and it’s more than a problem.  
  While I was busy running around doing some last minute packing for my tropical anniversary cruise, my husband was busy bedding three other women—at the same time. So I did what any other sane person would do—I grabbed my suitcase and took to the high seas, alone.  
  Here’s the thing. I’ve never been on a plane or a cruise ship. I’ve never left the state of Maine. I’ve never been on my own. I’ve never seen ghosts before either, but that seems to be on the universe’s agenda for me, too.  
  I’ve got eighteen days to recalibrate, rethink my life, recharge, and eat all the food I can get my hands on. And I might look into a poltergeist pest control service while I’m at it. 
  Of course I’ll start a travel blog and log all of my adventures for the world to see. Why not rub all the fun I’m having in my cheating ex-husband’s face? I’ll call it Suddenly Single! What a Trip. 
  But no sooner do I step on board of that stately cruise ship than I stumble upon a body. 
  From the NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling author, Addison Moore— Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison's books, "...easy, frothy fun!"

After entering the military, his abilities were quickly recognized as special skills. Skills that were honed into fieldcraft mastery. For his country, as a special operative, he uses his skills to perform clandestine missions around the world. For his community, as a neighbor and friend, he uses his skills to gift favors. Favors to those who have fallen victim to the underlives and dregs of society. For his actions, sometimes there are consequences. Sometimes ghosts of favors past return seeking their pound of flesh. Max’s flesh to be exact. One night back at home, Max is ambushed by three unknown attackers seeking retribution for one such favor. After successfully warding off his attackers, the ante is upped. To lure him out, someone Max holds dear has been taken. His wife. Their error in judgement had been a mistake. It will be their last.
